Summary
Men's mental health remains a critical issue, and despite progress in raising awareness, many men still struggle to open up. In this episode, Jake and Damian explore the ongoing challenges men face in discussing their mental well-being.
They revisit powerful conversations with inspiring guests like Jordan Henderson and Sir Keir Starmer, who openly share their struggles. Together, they discuss the deep-rooted societal pressures that encourage stoicism, the lasting impact of childhood conditioning, and the damaging myth that vulnerability is a weakness.
Listen in as Jake and Damian highlight the importance of asking deeper questions and fostering safe spaces where men can express their emotions, proving that true strength lies in vulnerability.
